I have no idea of the format for NBU files, but the data is there,
unencrypted. Considering that the notes are very probably coded in
Unicode, if you know what was in the note, you can perform a text
search, as you said, with tools that will accept that.
Because of Unicode, the best is to use a regexp, since a C-string
ends with '\0', therefore looking for H\0e\l\0l\0o (if you ever were
able to input that) may end with most software to look for H.
You can use the MPW regular expressions or BBEdit's.
In the first case, try something like /h?e?l?l?o/
In the second, h.e.l.l.o
Hope this helps,
Paul
